Question

You are working the night shift in a labor and delivery unit of a large hospital. Gianna, a 27 year old White woman from a large Italian family comes into your unit and is in full labor. She is accompanied by her husband, mother, father, and two sisters. At that same time, a Muslim immigrant also arrives at the hospital, in full labor, with only her husband. The mother speaks only broken English and the Father translates much of what is being said. You are the nurse to both women (keeping in mind your own gender), and because it is in the middle of the night, the delivering doctor is not their primary obstetrician
